Vintage paper match boxes for Christmas

Went to bed very late last night as I was hooked on making these colourful boxes for Christmas. I've decorated mini and large matchboxes with a variety of paper including some vintage wall paper (boy etc..) and some 60s pink wrapping paper that I've been holding onto for a very long time, waiting for a use! All contain chocolate goodies!

The beautiful fairies on the mini tree are handmade by the wonderful Halinka Fraser. She sells them from her website.

About Me

I'm Jane Foster and I'm an illustrator designer. I run a small business in Devon called Jane Foster Designs selling Scandinavian inspired quirky toys, screen prints, cushions and bags. I design everything from my studio and screen print almost everything myself. All the toys and cushions are made here in Devon by myself (and sometimes a few other local women) thus keeping the carbon footprint down. My partner Jim also helps with the business and is incredibly supportive. We have a seven year old daughter who also loves being creative in our studio and playing with the toys!

I've had two Craft books published by Pavilion books (Fun With Fabric and Creative Craft With Kids) and my first two pre-school books are being published May 2015 by Templar books.

Around 20 of my prints are published by The Art Group. I've recently been working with the company Make International who are producing mugs, glasses and kitchen textiles with my designs on.
